    Allium sativum
    Common Names: garlic,hardneck garlic, rocambole.
    Family: Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis Family)

    The snake seed pod (snake or scape)was removed today. Removing the snakes allows plant energy to produce slightly larger cloves. The snakes should be removed before they straighten out, which they will do after a few days of growth.

    The plants will be pulled about 5 July 2007.
